  • JEM Joint Exploration Model
  • a CTU is split into CUs by using a quaternary-tree structure denoted as coding tree to adapt to various local characteristics.
  • the decision whether to code a picture area using inter-picture (temporal) or intra-picture (spatial) prediction is made at the leaf CU level.
  • Each leaf CU can be further split into one, two or four PUs according to the PU splitting type. Inside one PU, the same prediction process is applied and the relevant information is transmitted to the decoder on a PU basis.
  • a leaf CU can be partitioned into transform units (TUs) according to another quaternary-tree structure similar to the coding tree for the CU.
  • TUs transform units
  • a quadtree with nested multi-type tree using binary and ternary splits segmentation structure replaces the concepts of multiple partition unit types, i.e. it removes the separation of the CU, PU and TU concepts except as needed for CUs that have a size too large for the maximum transform length, and supports more flexibility for CU partition shapes.
  • a CU can have either a square or rectangular shape.
  • a coding tree unit (CTU) is first partitioned by a quaternary tree (a.k.a. quadtree) structure. Then the quaternary tree leaf nodes can be further partitioned by a multi-type tree structure. As shown in FIG.
  • the multi-type tree leaf nodes are called coding units (CUs), and unless the CU is too large for the maximum transform length, this segmentation is used for prediction and transform processing without any further partitioning. This means that, in most cases, the CU, PU and TU have the same block size in the quadtree with nested multi-type tree coding block structure. The exception occurs when maximum supported transform length is smaller than the width or height of the colour component of the CU.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the signalling mechanism of the partition splitting information in quadtree with nested multi-type tree coding tree structure.
  • a coding tree unit (CTU) is treated as the root of a quaternary tree and is first partitioned by a quaternary tree structure. Each quaternary tree leaf node (when sufficiently large to allow it) is then further partitioned by a multi-type tree structure.
  • CTU coding tree unit
  • a first flag (mtt_split_cu_flag) is signalled to indicate whether the node is further partitioned; when a node is further partitioned, a second flag (mtt_split_cu_vertical_flag) is signalled to indicate the splitting direction, and then a third flag (mtt_split_cu_binary_flag) is signalled to indicate whether the split is a binary split or a ternary split.
  • the multi-type tree slitting mode (MttSplitMode) of a CU is derived as shown in Table 1.

  • FIG. 3 shows a CTU divided into multiple CUs with a quadtree and nested multi-type tree coding block structure, where the bold block edges represent quadtree partitioning and the remaining edges represent multi-type tree partitioning.
  • the quadtree with nested multi-type tree partition provides a content-adaptive coding tree structure comprised of CUs.
  • the size of the CU may be as large as the CTU or as small as 4 ⁇ 4 in units of luma samples. For the case of the 4:2:0 chroma format, the maximum chroma CB size is 64 ⁇ 64 and the minimum chroma CB size is 2 ⁇ 2.
  • the maximum supported luma transform size is 64 ⁇ 64 and the maximum supported chroma transform size is 32 ⁇ 32.
  • the width or height of the CB is larger the maximum transform width or height, the CB is automatically split in the horizontal and/or vertical direction to meet the transform size restriction in that direction.
  • CTU size the root node size of a quaternary tree
  • MinQTSize the minimum allowed quaternary tree leaf node size
  • MaxBtSize the maximum allowed binary tree root node size
  • MaxTtSize the maximum allowed ternary tree root node size
  • MaxMttDepth the maximum allowed hierarchy depth of multi-type tree splitting from a quadtree leaf
  • MinBtSize the minimum allowed binary tree leaf node size
  • MinTtSize the minimum allowed ternary tree leaf node size
  • the CTU size is set as 128 ⁇ 128 luma samples with two corresponding 64 ⁇ 64 blocks of 4:2:0 chroma samples
  • the MinQTSize is set as 16 ⁇ 16
  • the MaxBtSize is set as 128 ⁇ 128
  • MaxTtSize is set as 64 ⁇ 64
  • the MinBtSize and MinTtSize (for both width and height) is set as 4 ⁇ 4
  • the MaxMttDepth is set as 4.
  • the quaternary tree partitioning is applied to the CTU first to generate quaternary tree leaf nodes.
  • the quaternary tree leaf nodes may have a size from 16 ⁇ 16 (i.e., the MinQTSize) to 128 ⁇ 128 (i.e., the CTU size). If the leaf QT node is 128 ⁇ 128, it will not be further split by the binary tree since the size exceeds the MaxBtSize and MaxTtSize (i.e., 64 ⁇ 64). Otherwise, the leaf qdtree node could be further partitioned by the multi-type tree. Therefore, the quaternary tree leaf node is also the root node for the multi-type tree and it has multi-type tree depth (mttDepth) as 0. When the multi-type tree depth reaches MaxMttDepth (i.e., 4), no further splitting is considered.
  • TT split is forbidden when either width or height of a luma coding block is larger than 64, as shown in FIG. 4 .
  • TT split is also forbidden when either width or height of a chroma coding block is larger than 32.
  • the coding tree scheme supports the ability for the luma and chroma to have a separate block tree structure.
  • the luma and chroma CTBs in one CTU have to share the same coding tree structure.
  • the luma and chroma can have separate block tree structures.
  • luma CTB is partitioned into CUs by one coding tree structure
  • the chroma CTBs are partitioned into chroma CUs by another coding tree structure.
  • a CU in an I slice may consist of a coding block of the luma component or coding blocks of two chroma components, and a CU in a P or B slice always consists of coding blocks of all three colour components unless the video is monochrome.
  • VTM4 the number of directional intra modes in VTM4 is extended from 33, as used in HEVC, to 65.
  • the new directional modes not in HEVC are depicted as red dotted arrows in FIG. 5 , and the planar and DC modes remain the same.
  • These denser directional intra prediction modes apply for all block sizes and for both luma and chroma intra predictions.
  • PDPC position dependent intra prediction combination
  • PDPC is an intra prediction method which invokes a combination of the un-filtered boundary reference samples and HEVC style intra prediction with filtered boundary reference samples.
  • PDPC is applied to the following intra modes without signaling: planar, DC, horizontal, vertical, bottom-left angular mode and its eight adjacent angular modes, and top-right angular mode and its eight adjacent angular modes.
  • the prediction sample pred(x,y) is predicted using an intra prediction mode (DC, planar, angular) and a linear combination of reference samples according to the equation as follows:
  • pred( x,y ) ( wL ⁇ R ⁇ 1,y +wT ⁇ R x, ⁇ 1 ⁇ wTL ⁇ R ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1 +(64 ⁇ wL ⁇ wT+wTL ) ⁇ pred( x,y )+32)>>6
  • R x, ⁇ 1 , R ⁇ 1,y represent the reference samples located at the top and left of current sample (x,y), respectively, and R ⁇ 1, ⁇ 1 represents the reference sample located at the top-left corner of the current block.
  • CCLM cross-component linear model
  • pred C (i,j) represents the predicted chroma samples in a CU and rec L (i,j) represents the downsampled reconstructed luma samples of the same CU.
  • Linear model parameter a and p are derived from the relation between luma values and chroma values from two samples, which are luma sample with minimum sample value and with maximum sample inside the set of downsampled neighboring luma samples, and their corresponding chroma samples.
  • FIG. 6 shows an example of the location of the left and above samples and the sample of the current block involved in the CCLM mode.
  • This parameter computation is performed as part of the decoding process, and is not just as an encoder search operation. As a result, no syntax is used to convey the a and p values to the decoder.
  • Chroma mode coding directly depends on the intra prediction mode of the corresponding luma block. Since separate block partitioning structure for luma and chroma components is enabled in I slices, one chroma block may correspond to multiple luma blocks. Therefore, for Chroma DM mode, the intra prediction mode of the corresponding luma block covering the center position of the current chroma block is directly inherited.
  • Multiple reference line (MRL) intra prediction uses more reference lines for intra prediction.
  • FIG. 7 an example of 4 reference lines is depicted, where the samples of segments A and F are not fetched from reconstructed neighbouring samples but padded with the closest samples from Segment B and E, respectively.
  • HEVC intra-picture prediction uses the nearest reference line (i.e., reference line 0).
  • reference line 0 2 additional lines (reference line 1 and reference line 3) are used.
  • the index of selected reference line (mrl_idx) is signalled and used to generate intra predictor. For reference line idx, which is greater than 0, only include additional reference line modes in MPM list and only signal mpm index without remaining mode.
  • the Intra Sub-Partitions (ISP) tool divides luma intra-predicted blocks vertically or horizontally into 2 or 4 sub-partitions depending on the block size. For example, minimum block size for ISP is 4 ⁇ 8 (or 8 ⁇ 4). If block size is greater than 4 ⁇ 8 (or 8 ⁇ 4) then the corresponding block is divided by 4 sub-partitions. FIG. 8A-8B show examples of the two possibilities. All sub-partitions fulfill the condition of having at least 16 samples.
  • reconstructed samples are obtained by adding the residual signal to the prediction signal.
  • a residual signal is generated by the processes such as entropy decoding, inverse quantization and inverse transform. Therefore, the reconstructed sample values of each sub-partition are available to generate the prediction of the next sub-partition, and each sub-partition is processed repeatedly.
  • the first sub-partition to be processed is the one containing the top-left sample of the CU and then continuing downwards (horizontal split) or rightwards (vertical split).
  • reference samples used to generate the sub-partitions prediction signals are only located at the left and above sides of the lines. All sub-partitions share the same intra mode.
  • Affine Linear Weighted Intra Prediction (ALWIP, a.k.a. Matrix Based Intra Prediction)
  • Affine linear weighted intra prediction (ALWIP, a.k.a. Matrix based intra prediction (MIP)) is proposed.
  • test 1 ALWIP is designed with a memory restriction of 8K bytes and at most 4 multiplications per sample.
  • Test 2 is similar to test 1, but further simplifies the design in terms of memory requirement and model architecture.
  • affine linear weighted intra prediction takes one line of H reconstructed neighbouring boundary samples left of the block and one line of W reconstructed neighbouring boundary samples above the block as input. If the reconstructed samples are unavailable, they are generated as it is done in the conventional intra prediction.
  • the generation of the prediction signal is based on the following three steps:
  • the matrices and offset vectors needed to generate the prediction signal are taken from three sets S 0 , S 1 , S 2 of matrices.

  • the set S 1 consists of 10 matrices A 1 i , i ⁇ 0, . . .
  • the set S 2 consists of 6 matrices A 2 i , i ⁇ 0, . . . , 5 ⁇ , each of which has 64 rows and 8 columns and of 6 offset vectors b 2 i , i ⁇ 0, . . . , 5 ⁇ of size 64. Matrices and offset vectors of that set or parts of these matrices and offset vectors are used for all other block-shapes.
  • the total number of multiplications needed in the computation of the matrix vector product is always smaller than or equal to 4 ⁇ W ⁇ H. In other words, at most four multiplications per sample are required for the ALWIP modes.
  • bdry red top and bdry red left both consists of 2 samples in the case of a 4 ⁇ 4-block and both consist of 4 samples in all other cases.
